The range of an int data type is -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. Smallint represents an integer value that can be stored in 2 bytes. 2^(n-1) is the formula to find the maximum of a Smallint data type. In the preceding formula N is the size of the data type. The ^ operator calculates the power of the value.
In this article, I described how to calculate the maximum range of various integer data types in SQL Server. TINYINT, SMALLINT, INT and BIGINT are all number data types. The difference between these data types are in the minimum and maximum values. So let's have a look at a practical example of how to calculate the maximum range of the integer data type in SQL Server.
